This study examines the cost of goods manufactured (COGM) for Gul Ahmed Textile Mills
Limited, a manufacturing company in Pakistan that is listed on a stock exchange.
Brief Profile:
Gul Ahmed's tale is the story of textiles in the subcontinent. By the early 1900s, the group was
engaged in textile trade. In 1953, the group ventured into the manufacturing sector by founding
Gul Ahmed Textile Mills Ltd, which is now a well-known brand. Since becoming public on the
Karachi Stock Exchange in 1970, the company has expanded quickly and occupied a prominent
place in the textile industry.
With 300 cutting-edge weaving machines, an installed capacity of over 51,840 spindles, and the
most advanced yarn dyeing, processing, and stitching units, Gul Ahmed is a composite unit that
produces everything from cotton yarn to finished goods. Gas engines, gas and steam turbines and
backup diesel engines make up Gul Ahmed's in-house power plant. Gul Ahmed, which is
committed to doing its part to preserve the environment, has also established a wastewater
treatment facility to clean all of its effluent and raise it to NEQS standards.
Financial Objectives:
By growing its market share, broadening its product line, and entering new markets, Gul Ahmed
hopes to generate steady income growth.
For every business segment, such as yarn, textiles, and clothing, the corporation may establish
distinct revenue goals that are contingent upon market demand, production capabilities, and
pricing tactics.
Revenue goals may be in line with consumer preferences, market developments, and
macroeconomic issues that have an impact on the textile business.
By making investments in R&D, increasing production capacity, and investigating new markets,
Gul Ahmed hopes to accomplish both organic and inorganic growth.
The organisation may endeavour to reach emerging markets, expand its product offerings, and
gain access to new technology through joint ventures, acquisitions, or strategic alliances.
Increasing market share, breaking into foreign markets, and growing the retail footprint through
e-commerce or franchising are a few examples of growth objectives.
